Zoe vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage looking to control space and burst Yasuo from range using E and extended Q angles with R.
Apply lane pressure early to deny Yasuo safe access to minion waves for his mobility and short trades.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E, then use R to reposition and maximize Q burst damage.
Respect Yasuo W cooldown; when it's down, step up to poke more aggressively.
Avoid using R at bad timings to prevent being vulnerable to Yasuo's knockup and all-in.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Yasuo's Yasuo W is available as it blocks many of your projectiles.
Avoid being caught without E ready, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Yasuo's all-in.
Yasuo's Yasuo R after knockup is lethal; avoid giving him airborne targets by spacing carefully.

Early game

Use early levels to fish for E sleep and follow up with Q and R to burst before Yasuo stacks Q.
Keep Yasuo away from minions to limit his E mobility and reduce his ability to engage safely.
Avoid extended trades if E is missed or on cooldown to prevent Yasuo punishing you.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases Zoe's kill threat.
Yasuo's level 2 Q plus E mobility spike demands cautious spacing early on.

Win conditions

Land E sleep to set up high burst with Q and R from unexpected angles.
Deny Yasuo access to minion waves to limit his Yasuo E mobility and reduce his trading options.
Punish Yasuo when his Yasuo W is down or after he uses Yasuo E without minion targets to reposition.

Tip: For Zoe vs Yasuo, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
